SANTA MONICA, Calif.--()--The Beachbody Company, Inc. (NYSE: BODY) ("Beachbody" or the "Company") a leading subscription health and wellness company, today announced it is launching the new MYX II bike, the next advancement in its commercial-grade and highly personalized indoor cycling experience. Staying true to MYXfitness' mission to deliver a studio-quality riding experience with a broad range of content that meets people where they are, MYX bikes will now feature industry-leading hardware upgrades andtwo unique digital fitness platforms from Beachbody on Demand (BOD) and Openfit.

Great fitness has never been "one size fits all." That's why MYX is creating a more personalized fitness experience with its industry-leading 360-degree swivel 21.5" touchscreen and completely adjustable seat and handlebars, as well as the ability to choose between two digital platforms. Openfit will offer live and on-demand workouts led by certified trainers that provide 1:1 personal attention. For those looking for a large group exercise experience, MYX will also offer daily live and on-demand studio classes through Beachbody's "BOD Interactive" (BODi - pronounced "body"), a new live interactive content membership offering, with access to Beachbody's world-class catalog of comprehensive fitness and nutrition programs.

"MYX started with the premise of offering the highest quality bike at a more affordable price," said Heberto Calves, President of MYXfitness. "Now with access to Beachbody's superior content machine, Super Trainers, and Openfit's personalized fitness experience, we're excited to help millions of people achieve their goals and lead healthy, fulfilling lives. By offering both Beachbody and Openfit experiences on the MYX complete home fitness system, we're now able to provide alternatives to serve entire households and people at every level with differing personal preferences - from those looking for boutique-style training to those who prefer the electric energy of live classes, as well as all those who prefer the convenience of workouts on demand. And, by offering heart-rate based rides, our members have more ways to get real results than ever before."

A STUDIO-QUALITY BIKE, NOW EVEN BETTER

Like the original bike, MYX II and MYX II Plus bring the quality and benefits of professional bikes to the home. Built to the standards of a commercial environment where the need for durability and customized fit is required, the MYX bike provides in-home riders with the adjustability, comfort, and safety - as well as reliability that is often overlooked in the purchase decision, until it's too late.

The MYX bike fits a greater range of rider weight and height than many residential bike competitors - up to 350 lbs. and 6'8" tall, and its fore/aft handlebar adjustability and optimized Q-factor - the distance between the pedal cranks - provide a truly personalized fit that conforms to the body's natural ankle, knee, and hip alignment.

The MYX II features a 21.5" rotating sweat-proof touchscreen making it easy to transition from bike to floor workouts and a Polar OH1 heart rate monitor to fuel the brand's heart rate-based workouts. In addition, the MYX II Plus offers a complete set of dumbbells, a kettlebell, a resistance band, a stability mat for the bike, an exercise mat, and a foam roller to turn the bike into the household's designated fitness center for consistency and variety.

New to the MYX II and MYX II Plus is a state-of-the-art sensor providing cadence, speed, and distance metrics - one that's 10% more accurate than standard magnetic resistance-based sensors. Also new, the pioneering touchscreen now has up-leveled 20W speakers for an immersive music experience, improved processing power for faster downloads, and a sleek design that's 30% slimmer. MYX also added a premium Sony 8 megapixel camera to facilitate the immersive experience of interactive group fitness classes and personalized training, coupled with security features to maintain members' privacy. In addition, upgrades to the tablet firmware will enable members to connect their Apple Watch for use as a heart rate monitor in all workouts.

Openfit's expansive program library is now available on the MYX Home Studio. Those looking for a more boutique 1:1 experience can choose from personal-trainer-led classes, on-demand workouts and structured fitness programs from trainers such as Andrea Rogers, Kelsey Heenan, Lita Lewis, Jen Widerstrom and more, as well as fun challenges with celebrities such as Shay Mitchell, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and others. Access to Openfit's live walking and running classes and trainer-led workouts with real-time feedback are also available on mobile and the web for all members at launch. The best part? Coming this fall, Openfit members will also be able to use the cameras on their MYX II bike during Openfit Live classes, where the user can grant our certified trainers permission to oversee the member's form on a split screen and provide personalized tips, modifications and inspiration to help them get the most out of their workout from HIIT, strength training, barre, Pilates, yoga, meditation, stretching and more.

In September, MYX bike owners can also access Beachbody On Demand (BOD), including the new premium-level tier BODi, on their MYX bike and be a part of one of the world's largest fitness communities. MYX bike owners looking for the kinetic energy group classes can join BODi's breakthrough live group experiences and on-demand workouts - on and off the bike - led by Beachbody Super Trainers Amoila Cesar, Autumn Calabrese, Elise Joan, Idalis Velazquez, Jennifer Jacobs, Jericho Matthews, Joel Freeman, Megan Davies, and Shaun T, among other certified instructors. Beachbody's vast, diverse library of programs such as Muscle Burns Fat (#mbf), 21 Day Fix, 80 Day Obsession, Insanity, LIIFT4, Morning Meltdown 100, and P90X, will also be included. In addition, BODi members will be able to use the camera on their MYX II bike to join the onscreen "BODcasts" during live trainer-led classes and broadcast their workout to the jumbo screen in the BODi studio along with dozens of other participants. The new BODcast feature also allows BODi trainers to see participants on-screen and provide shout-outs and personalized corrections and cues.

ONE BIKE, TWO UNIQUE FITNESS EXPERIENCES

Following the recent merger, The Beachbody Company and its three brands - connected fitness brand MYXfitness™, the Beachbody on Demand® streaming platform and the live Openfit™ digital streaming platform - will introduce two distinct connected fitness experiences to the original MYX and new MYX II bikes that users can choose from based on their fitness preferences.

"I'm proud of the Beachbody reputation for delivering unprecedented in-home fitness innovations. But what we are offering on the MYX II touchscreen could be our boldest in two decades of creating fitness content," said Carl Daikeler, co-founder, Chairman and CEO of The Beachbody Company. "Every time I see how colorful, immersive and exciting this live content is going to be, I'm reminded of the leap television made when it went from black and white to color. We're about to see that same quantum leap of the indoor cycling experience on the MYX II bike, and it's going to blow members' minds!"

Openfit memberships will be available to new MYX II and MYX II Plus at the same competitive $29 per month offered currently by MYX. BODi will be available this fall for $19.95 per month on top of the $99 annual BOD membership - effectively just $28.20 per month. New members can choose to join one or both. Current MYX bike owners will have access to either digital membership as well as the ability to add cadence metrics to their existing experience through an accessory attachment (sold separately). The new MYX II and MYX II Plus are competitively priced at $1,599 and $1,799, respectively, including free delivery and assembly ($250 value).

Welcome to
the 2B Mindset! You Can Lose Weight
Without Feeling Deprived
or Hungry Ever Again.
Hooray! Congratulations! I’m so excited for you to lose weight happily and keep it off for good. Because you
can drop these pounds. You can get the body you want. And you’re not going to do it alone.
There are thousands of people like you, unhappy in their bodies and wanting to change. I see them professionally, as a registered dietitian nutritionist with my own private practice. More than 240,000 others have signed up for 2B Mindset, my online course and system for simple and sustainable weight loss. These folks have shed 20, 30, 50, even 100+ pounds and rediscovered their best selves thanks to the unique, easy and effective guiding principles found within the program videos and resources—and in this book.

I know you can drop the weight because I dropped the weight—a
lot of weight—using this very same plan. People say they can’t believe it when they see me, but I grew up morbidly obese, weighing more than 200 pounds at my heaviest. I’ve been through this struggle. I know exactly how it feels. I get that there are temptations and cravings. I understand that big wins are usually followed by bigger setbacks. I know what it’s like to feel like the body you’re in doesn’t reflect the you inside.
I also know that I lost 100 pounds—and that I’ve kept it off. I know that I still love food and eating lots of it. I know that I’m happier and healthier than ever before. And I know you can be, too. The techniques in
You Can Drop It! work. They work because they’re the result of proven methods combined with science-backed nutrition advice.
My clients pay more than $400 an hour for this counsel. After seeing how amazing they look and feel during our sessions together—and even months and years later—I knew I couldn’t hold these solutions back from those who really need it. My lifelong goal is to help real people like you and me lose weight in the most empowering and enjoyable way possible. It thrills me to share my secrets with you here and even more at 2BMindset.com, because I am committed to have this work for you.

Inside you’ll get practical strategies to help you learn how to eat with purpose, live your life and lose weight so you can keep it off for good. And although I’ll motivate you along the way, I’m not just some rah-rah cheerleader (though if you say I look like one, I won’t complain!). I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (the highest standard in nutrition). I have a Master of Science in nutrition. I sit on the prestigious Executive Leadership Team for the American Heart Association and lecture for the Bruin Health Improvement Program at UCLA. I’m in the National Weight Control Registry—that’s the longest study out there on weight loss in America of people who lost weight and kept it off. And I created the 2B Mindset with Beachbody, the pros behind P90x, INSANITY, and other fitness programs that have helped millions of people get the bodies they deserve from the comfort of their homes.

I also have a degree in tough love or PYF—pushing you further. I might seem too direct at times, but I believe hard work equals bigger results, and I am obsessed with results, namely yours. You only get one body, I always say. So you might as well make it rock!

To join in, you don’t have to buy into some new fad or spend thousands on exercise equipment or give up carbs forever. You just need the right guidance and a new...mindset.
GETTING INTO THE 2B MINDSET
This is probably not the first time you’ve attempted to lose weight. I’m sure in the past, you’ve gained some weight and—maybe after being inspired or embarrassed or frustrated—decided it was time to lose it. What did you do? Maybe promise yourself you would fast or cleanse or try really, really hard to eat perfectly for a day, a week, or a month. And maybe you even succeeded. And I give you credit for your willpower, because I never stood a chance using those methods.

Or maybe all of that strictness, discipline and effort frustrated you because you only saw a little success and felt like a failure. So you got sluggish and sad. Your energy crashed, and you went looking for something to make you feel better. Why, hello, leftover cookies and jar of peanut butter!

That’s when you gave in—and felt guilty that you did. So you chose to wave the white flag and surrender… again.

And your weight went back up… again.

That mindset doesn’t work—and it hasn’t worked for millions of people struggling with their weight who have been trying those same methods.

The mindset that does work—as shown by hundreds and hundreds of my clients and the hundreds of thousands more who have used this program—is the 2B Mindset. Why? Because the 2B Mindset is designed to be sustainable from day one. It doesn’t shame you for your love of food, busy schedule, skipped workouts, or lack of meal prep; it works with you and your real life! It redefines your relationship with food and with how you think about eating. You won’t ever be told to cut out sweets, but the cool thing is, once you have a new mindset, you may never want them the same way. And it starts with having a good relationship with your body, which, as a result, also leads to super-effective weight loss.

Ultimately, the 2B Mindset is rooted in this fundamental truth about nutrition: Weight loss is about what food you eat, but it’s also about your eating behaviors, reaction to hunger and food environments, and how you can figure out what works best for you and your body.

We all have different bodies, we all like different foods and we all have different lifestyles and schedules. For you to have long-term success—and a healthy relationship with food and your body—you have to understand that successful weight loss isn’t about rigid meal plans and deprivation. A way of eating has to be about what’s in your mind as well as what’s on your plate.

Life throws you curveballs, and the 2B Mindset equips you with the tools you need to smash them—not the other way around. This program is designed to help you handle any struggle or hurdle you face because it’s not about being “perfect,” but about being customized.

Here’s what you stand to gain.
Freedom
The 2B Mindset is not a diet. You’re not going to count calories, you’re not going to calculate grams, you’re not going to cut out food groups, you’re not going to permanently swear off alcohol, sweets or anything. The second you start telling yourself “no,” you’re just going to be stuck on that, and that’s the last thing you want. Are you skeptical or wondering how and why that’s possible? Despite what you read, do you still think you should cut out bread to lose your weight? Let’s try this little exercise and see if it works for you.

Try not to think about elephants. Whatever you do, for the next minute, don’t think about elephants. Don’t think about their grayish color, the way they walk, their floppy ears or long trunks.

How’d you do?

See, not that promising.

With the 2B Mindset, you’re going to be telling yourself “yes.” You’ll focus on the positive and what works for you, and all you need to start is an open mind.
Control
One of the things that I hear most often from people who have the 2B Mindset is something I enjoy even more than hearing that people lost weight. They report that they finally have control. There’s so much in life that feels out of our control. And in many cases for women, what happens to their bodies is out of their control (puberty, PMS, pregnancy, nursing, menopause, etc.…sorry if that’s TMI, boys, but it’s the uncomfortable truth for us). Our bodies are constantly morphing away from us, and we just want to get control of our weight, shape and abilities. I know how this feels, and I know so many others who feel the same, too. Getting control of your mindset and eating habits allows you to finally get control of your body—and your interactions with and emotions toward food.
Short-Term, Long-Term and Sustained Weight Loss
Everything that comes from the 2B Mindset revolves around my Core Four—these four principles that will give you the weight loss, the freedom and the control you want: Water First, Veggies Most, Use the Scale, and Track Your Progress. No intense food rules, calorie counting, strict meal plan regimens, drill-sergeant directives of must-do-this and gotta-do-that. The groundwork is based on these four highly proven and effective core principles—principles that will guide you and shape you to get the body that you want so you can feel better and live better.

When you put all that together, you’ll find that the 2B Mindset is a health and weight-loss gift that keeps on giving. It makes life easier. It makes life fresher. It makes you brighter. It makes you more energetic. It’s better for your joints; it’s better for your back. It’s just
better. Weight loss is what’s yummy, satisfying and delicious. But don’t worry, you’ll still be indulging in delicious food as well.
Throughout the book and program, you will get thousands of tips, tricks, strategies and pieces of information that can and will help you.

What you won’t find is a prescribed list of meals and when to eat them. I don’t believe in that. If someone told me to eat asparagus and chicken for dinner one night, and then my husband told me he wants to get sushi, I’m going to want to get sushi with him,
but also make it work for my goals. So there’s no prescribed “thing.” Forget the old mindset, where eating vegan/keto/paleo/macro/fasting/counting points is required for obtaining and sustaining your goals. The 2B Mindset is eating with a sensible yet flexible approach that is needed for physical and mental health.
Once you figure out your own system, the weight drops off, off, off. And it becomes second nature. What makes this different from other diets is that we are doing this together. I live with the 2B Mindset every day. I may be in “Maintenance Mode” (which you’ll read more about on page 275) but I always have to be conscious. I laugh when I see people look me up and down and size me up as a “naturally thin” woman who seems too carefree to have ever struggled with her weight. No one understands how hard I had to work to get to where I am (unless they know me personally, of course). I still watch my weight. Every. Single. Day. More so than ever, because I’m not just living for myself and right now. I’m living for my future. I’m living for my husband, Noah, our daughter, Olivia, our son, Julian, and the whole 2B Mindset community.

As a result, no one wants this plan to work for you more than me. Everything I will push you to do is for the benefit of you because I care about you! You’ll get to the weight you want to be. You’ll forget the stories of the past. You’re going to let go of this identity of someone who struggles with their weight, and you’ll get to that place where you always wanted to be—to that person who is strong, fit and free.

So let’s leave the past behind us and turn the page to focus on everything you want 2B.

xoxo,
Ilana Muhlstein, M.S, R.D.N.

better. Weight loss is what’s yummy, satisfying and delicious. But don’t worry, you’ll still be indulging in delicious food as well.
Throughout the book and program, you will get thousands of tips, tricks, strategies and pieces of information that can and will help you.

What you won’t find is a prescribed list of meals and when to eat them. I don’t believe in that. If someone told me to eat asparagus and chicken for dinner one night, and then my husband told me he wants to get sushi, I’m going to want to get sushi with him,
but also make it work for my goals. So there’s no prescribed “thing.” Forget the old mindset, where eating vegan/keto/paleo/macro/fasting/counting points is required for obtaining and sustaining your goals. The 2B Mindset is eating with a sensible yet flexible approach that is needed for physical and mental health.
Once you figure out your own system, the weight drops off, off, off. And it becomes second nature. What makes this different from other diets is that we are doing this together. I live with the 2B Mindset every day. I may be in “Maintenance Mode” (which you’ll read more about on page 275) but I always have to be conscious. I laugh when I see people look me up and down and size me up as a “naturally thin” woman who seems too carefree to have ever struggled with her weight. No one understands how hard I had to work to get to where I am (unless they know me personally, of course). I still watch my weight. Every. Single. Day. More so than ever, because I’m not just living for myself and right now. I’m living for my future. I’m living for my husband, Noah, our daughter, Olivia, our son, Julian, and the whole 2B Mindset community.

As a result, no one wants this plan to work for you more than me. Everything I will push you to do is for the benefit of you because I care about you! You’ll get to the weight you want to be. You’ll forget the stories of the past. You’re going to let go of this identity of someone who struggles with their weight, and you’ll get to that place where you always wanted to be—to that person who is strong, fit and free.

So let’s leave the past behind us and turn the page to focus on everything you want 2B.

xoxo,
